This is my second book by this author, and I admit I kept holding on to my “I don’t like this format of mystery” assumption when I finished the first one I read (The Devotion of Suspect X) and at my halfway point through this one.
And yet, what did I realize? These books are indeed “Dostoyevskian psychology realism”, as a review on the book puts it, and as Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote my favorite book of all time (Crime and Punishment), and is one of my favorite authors, these ARE the kind of mystery books I enjoy!
That last couple of sentences. Wow!
